IMO Launch First iPhone App to Enable NCHDs Record Working Hours
24th October 2011
The Irish Medical Organisation has launched the first iPhone app which will track the working hours of Non Consultant Hospital Doctors. The IMO iphone app, called “Time Tracker” will enable Non Consultant Hospital Doctors to set, track, archive and export their working hours.
IMO NCHD Chairman, Dr. Mark Murphy said; “This app will prove very beneficial for NCHDs. It has a simple easy to use interface for quick intuitive operation and functionality designed specifically for easy use. This will quickly become one of NCHDs indispensable Apps.”
Each day NCHDs will be able to track their working hours automatically. When the working day is complete the NCHD can also record a note if required for each day. The start time, end time, total hours worked and notes are all archived to each day within history.
By setting regular working hours the “time tracker” will automatically recognise when regular working hours have exceeded and overtime hours start. This is calculated based on a 7 day working week and recorded in this format. Weekly archives can be viewed as required, and exported via a CSV in Excel form for submission. The Excel form, as above, will detail date, start time, end time, total hours worked, and any notes added.
The app will be password protected and only available to IMO members.
